Evidently, Syracuse will be better than expected

[73CAV]

DBR reports today:
For the second straight year, Syracuse guard Tyus Battle ranks as the ACC’s top returning scorer. His 17.2 points per game were only the league’s fifth-best in 2019. But those ahead of him -- two freshmen (R.J. Barrett and Zion Williamson of Duke) and seniors Marcquise Reid of Clemson and Ky Bowman of BC -- are no longer around, leaving Battle atop holdover scorers.

The 6-6 guard, who explored his NBA options before returning for his senior season, paced the Orange in point production for the second straight season. He’s the first player to repeat as top returning ACC scorer since Virginia Tech’s Malcolm Delaney in 2011. The only other repeat leader among holdovers in this century was NC State’s chippy wing, Julius Hodge, tops for 2004 and 2005.

Add to that Oshae's return and we're going to be hard to beat!

The writer is too busy covering Zion's scrimmages with the Pelicans to worry about a second rate program like Cuse...

Melo has 3 more years of eligibility right? I’m sure he can school all these kids. 4>1 gonna be 4>4* if that happened

Winfred Walton is the wildcard here.

Tyler Lydon and Malachi Richardson both returning as fifth year seniors will create a logjam at SF, sending Battle to the bench. What to do?

No Dave Bing? Good luck in the G-League.

Apparently the 20 seconds it would have taken to research this was just too much.

You would think one of his duke readers would let him know. But maybe he doesn’t have any readers.

I checked the comment section for exactly that. There weren't any comments. lol shocker

He did research it! He knows Tyus is back “because he just couldn’t get enough interest to stay in the draft”. Either that or he’s just making stuff up. #alternate_reality
